Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
Well said again Lizzie.

I worked for a year in Bangladesh, flying for their national airline as flight crew. I was appalled at how the crews treated their Cabin Crew.

They were both verbally and sexually abused. A captain can instantly end the career of any girl that refuses - this career is deemed an excellent chance to improve themselves and their circumstances. I was even offered a stewardess to be 'my friend' while I was in Bangladesh, I refused. These are all 'good Muslim men' all misogynists, all holier than thou.

Again, it is THIS I really object to. I don't like abuse full stop. I particularly don't like Muslims coming over here and acting like many of them do, I definitely don't like not being able to comment on it because I'd be accused of being a racist. What for? Telling it like it is? I don't think so.

So I am really pleased to see this realignment of values. I don't like politicians much either, but finally I am starting to hear that my particular viewpoint is coming into vogue.

Other people also object to the way these people act in OUR country, what's more, soon, we'll stop subsidising their hate campaign.

But if you misguided do-gooders out there wish to brand me a racist - then go ahead. I really hope that your disillusionment (when it comes) is not too close to you and yours. It's always easier when it happens to someone else.

Once more, well said Lizzie.
